Update on Gunner's Calendar

So the calendars came back from the printer and they were superb except, of course, I keep thinking of all the photos I could have included .... and maybe I should have added captions to the pictures .... and what about all the wonderful shots I have found since that somehow I cannot remember coming across when I was looking for the "12" ..........

Pre-orders have all been shipped and sales have been good.

Hours of planning and looking through files for the most suitable photos have been more than rewarded by the heartwarming feedback  I have received as the calendars drop into people's homes.

Two weeks on and costs have been recovered so I am well into making a decent contribution to ACT - the chosen cancer charity; about a third of the calendars are still to go but we have a number of events leading up to Christmas so I'm certain they will not 'hang around'.

In addition to calendar sales people have generously made additional contributions to the charity along with paying for their calendars and a few have independently contributed via ACT's website.
Gunner would "grin" if he knew...
I'm interested to see what the final reckoning will be.....

Remembering

Do not stand at my grave and weep                      I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
